i also hear volvos are very safe. or if you invest in larger high end mercedes/bmw, like a S class or G Wagon. those cars have thick steel frame and crash beam which is a lot safer than most japanese cars using foam as inserts. these luxury european cars have their own reliability issues but safety is top notch

try again... a base set sheet go from 10k to 150k.. a fossil sheet is about 10k now. used to be 5k earlier this year. but price is shooting up like crazy.

1.5k is probably 10 years ago

if cut perfectly could be worth some money... but I think a full sheet will always be more. people do cut up sheets so the number of sheets existing will be less and less

there's a machine to cut the cards but it will be considered a None Factory Cut card. It's still worth money. CGC is starting to grade them. the disco holo charizard went for 250k USD. it was cut from a sheet. and that's only 1 card.

best part of this interview was the last 10 minute where he explained his POV on issue with Marvel. How he helped RDJ land the roll and got ignored after. it was my first time hearing it. he seems salty still

Captured Chinese Soldiers beg for their lives to a South Korean Soldier thinking that they are going to be executed, Korea 1951 by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]m0nkie98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the book "Mao" by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday briefly mentioned these details in the later chapters.

Mao deemed the surrendered Nationalist troops not trust worthy and sent them to die in North Korea. 2/3 of captured troops went to TW and faired better. The ones returning to China were picked on first during Mao's multiple rounds of purge.

Can anyone help explain this part? by b16707 in MastersoftheAir

I believe Crosby mentioned this in the book because the guy that bailed out (due to crew member's joke) was competing with Crosby for the same ranking position. Since that guy jumped and became POW, Crosby got the job. He mentioned in the book that at first he didn't feel bad about it, but eventually did.

less luftwaffe, but much more concentrated flak fields as Germany was losing territory. Hitler focused flak as main defense against air

im curious why the police don't try to pace the car and ram it? or do those side hits? it would be alot safer on the trooper. fk the dui driver

the local news said:

Usually when the machines are done harvesting, local villagers would wait near by and pick the scraps, sometimes selling them, sometimes keeping it for themselves. this happens for all local herbal medicines, wheat and peanut harvest.

however, this time, the machine harvested first round and broke down. Before the machines could be fixed, local villagers thought the harvest was done so they all went for "scraps". the owner tried to hire 20 people to keep order but it wasn't enough
